I have had to keep this photo shoot under raps for awhile. This was a 50th wedding present for their parents, and since their anniversary is over, I can now share! This has been the largest family to date that I've had the chance to photograph. And I realized after doing this shoot that I am really good at telling people what to do. As if you didn't already know this information.

We went to the Santa Monica Pier, and in between doing big group shots, sibling shots, grandchildren shots, we made some time for some individual family mini sessions. Here are some of my faves. I haven't had a chance to update my photo blog yet, but more from this shoot will be on there this week.

Football season 🏈 has begun so that means lots of girl dates until our turn for seats comes up 💛❤️💛✌🏻 #fighton #trojanfootball

Went back forth on joining him for a work conference and so glad I did. May have to share him all day but it's worth it for the dinners. #mylifeatplaytimedates

Hard to pass up a national park, landmark, forest, monument or art installation without stopping 😆 It's a sickness but I don't want to be cured. #sevenmagicmountains #mylifeatplaytimeadventures

Getting a little lesson in some 'merican baseball ⚾️ #dodgerblue

Nope not windy at all. And that small dock behind me didn't make me sick at all when I walked out there 😳🤢 Swipe ⬅️ for my people and she's got way better camping hair than me 😂

One rattlesnake sighting, some deer, one bee sting, one splinter, not much sleep, zero showers and one missed son 🏕#mylifeatplaytimevacations

Let's just pretend there's a third kid in that middle seat which is what I'm going to pretend all weekend 😭 Teens with jobs and lives really mess with my vacation plans 💔 #mylifeatplaytimevacations #mylifeatplaytimecarselfies 🏕

This guy doesn't end up in my photos very often. In fact I have to sneak a photo here and there to remind myself he still lives in this house. But then I hear the refrigerator door open a dozen times between 9-11pm and realize he's very much a resident 😆 When your kids are little you don't sleep much, and guess what, when your kids are big you don't sleep much either. But wouldn't trade this stage of life for nothin'. Maybe you could just text your mom back a little sooner? We should work on that. 😘

Love my little Shibori Indigo dye items I made at a class tonight. Can't wait to see them once their soaked and dried. Thank you @artisantreehouse for sharing your serious skills with us and @tiffanyknightlong for sharing your home 😘😘
